Venetian Mask

This
initially was meant to be a DIY post but then I decided to just wanted to run
with it and see what I could come up with.

I’ve
spent the last week creating it. Hours of my life I will never get back!! It
felt like it was glue stick after pearl after feather; it was a never-ending
glitter circle. After many burns from the evil glue gun, you would have thought
I would have learned by now but never the less.

Things I
do for my mommy dearest, she was invited to a masquerade ladies lunch on
Saturday so of course I was enlisted to create her mask. I got strict
instructions on the colour palette of course two of her favourite colours that
I have also inherited, gold and black. One another thing was that it had to be
on a wooden dowel instead of the ribbon tie. Sadly I don’t have a picture of
our mamma wearing her mask as she forgot to take one.

I’m
planning on doing an in depth tutorial on how to create a Venetian mask or two.
They can be quite fiddly and time consuming but fun non-the less. They can also
be quite pricey if you want to purchase a more authentic

I have just watched your documentary from Dubai, where I live...I'm originally Scottish so its always nice to hear the accent when im 4000miles away!You are a true inspiration and look amazing! Your style and sense of confidence in what you believe in is fab!Good luck in the future, you will go far for sure!Lynne xx

I know I'm saying what everyone else is saying but my sis and I just walked your programme this evening and I think it's wonderful you had the courage to go to Elle magazine and London fashion week considering how you thought it could go! :) it had really got me wanting to read this blog and got me interested in glossy boxes! Your story inspired me to achieve my dream in being an author and to improve me doing eyeshadow! Me and my sis always played fashion games when we were little and are Scottish too! I hope things go well for you as you deserve it and me and my sis couldn't stop saying how gorgeous you were! ;)

Hello!I know a lot of other people have commented saying a similar thing, but I just watched your documentary and- as a fellow blogger- had to come and check out yours. The documentary was brilliant- i love how courageous and headstrong you are, and how you are following your dream and striving to achieve your goals despite the obvious and serious risks that could come with it. I think you would like this post that I wrote back in May: http://thelittleredbuttonblog.wordpress.com/2013/05/30/whats-the-plan-batman/You obviously have a great eye for fashion, and a lovely individual style of your own, and I look forward to reading more of your blog posts in the future.Sami xThe Little Red Button Blog www.thelittleredbuttonblog.wordpress.com
